    watching white uniforms whisk over
    him in the tube-kept
    prison
    fear what they will do in experiment”

    “The Germans are always too late. They are late, like music, which is always the last of the arts to express a world condition,—when that world condition is already in its final stages. They are abstract and mystical.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “Among the best traitors Ireland has ever had, Mother Church ranks at the very top, a massive obstacle in the path to equality and freedom. She has been a force for conservatism, not on the basis of preserving Catholic doctrine or preventing the corruption of her children, but simply to ward off threats to her own security and influence.”
    —Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)
